The diagonally broken route from lounge to galley is another Fernwood design cue. To the left, coming from the lounge, a unit houses cupboards, drawers and electric oven with a two plate hob ("plenty for us, especially with the Lock Gate stove top in reserve," says Jan).

Opposite is a butler's sink in a peninsula-style unit. Both units are finished in cream with crystal-look handles and sapele worktops. A side hatch is directly behind the sink and fills the kitchen with light. There's a removable infill window.

A fridge lives under the left of the sink whilst to the right hand is a dishwasher. Yes, we know, this is a boat but it's a live-aboard and the Finches want their home comforts!
To deal with the difficult deep space created under the angled corner of the peninsula, Fernwood devised a cupboard door with in-built shelving which opens to reveal further selves that can be slid out.

Final touch in the galley are the splendid pair of leaded glass art deco cupboard doors - again specially made for Fernwood.
